The History of Vivisection
French experimental physiologist Francois Mais-Gendy started holding public Vivisections in London. He was immediately denounced by animal rights activists, who called him a disgrace to society. A significant number of doctors and medical students disapproved of it as well. There were some parallels to the opposition to Ignos Semmelweis' recommendation that doctors washed their hands.
The Brown Dog Affair was a series of demonstrations and riots surrounding a statue that had been erected in the Battersea area of London, commemorating dogs who had been killed due to vivisection.
